The recession combined
with the emergence of
online shopping has created
a perfect storm and it is
such a shame to see so
many empty shops.
But the traders in
Wombwell are a determined
bunch. At the weekend, they
held their annual summer
gala which attracted

hundreds of families and
thankfully, they enjoyed
some glorious weather for it.
In this week’s Barnsley
Independent Today, we have
a special feature on the
delights of Wombwell. So if
you’re looking for a varied
shopping experience
without driving miles, give
Wombwell a try.

With everyone’s
thoughts turning to their
summer holidays, our
consumer rights expert
Dean Dunham gives some
advice on how to avoid
returning from your trip
abroad with a hefty mobile
phone bill.
Closer to home, we
report on a happy ending in

the case of runaway tortoise
Pop who went missing from
his owner’s back garden and
was found wandering in the
street.
He’s back home safely
after his story was featured
in Barnsley Independent
Today.
Who says it’s all bad
news..?

Overseas phone
charges – have
you been stung?
Dean

Have you got back from being
away abroad to find that your
smartphone or mobile
broadband operator has stung
you with a massive bill for your
holiday usage?
In the last few years the EU
has come down hard on mobile
phone operators forcing all
European networks to play by
their rules. As a result, there
are now caps on what they can
charge and these caps are
being slashed again by July
2014.

For a warm welcome and friendly advice come and have a
free drink in a warm waiting room while we discuss,
or fix your problem, none too small.

When you use your mobile
phone abroad you connect to an
overseas network which means
that your calls and text
messages are routed via that
network provider instead of your
home network, at a vastly
increased cost. This is known as
‘data roaming’.
Data roaming can be
expensive as roaming data is not
normally included in your
monthly usage allowance and, as
a result, you will be charged at
the higher per-MB rate.

What are my rights when
using mobile data roaming
inside the EU?
Currently, if you are roaming
within the EU, your operator
must place a limit of ¤50 on
your account. This will be the
maximum you will be charged
unless you have previously set

up a higher or lower limit with
your operator.
These rules came into force
in July 2010 and were created to
stop EU visitors accidentally
running up huge bills when
surfing the web using mobile
networks via a mobile phone or
computer.
With a little pre-planning
you can set up a different cut-off
limit with your operator or opt
out of this entirely.
The Roaming Regulations
mean that operators are
obligated to send you a warning
message once you have reached
80 per cent of your dataroaming limit.
The regulations also mean
that you have the right to:
receive voice mail messages
free of charge while you are
roaming;
receive a text message whilst
you are in another EU country;
be charged per second after
the first 30 seconds, and
immediately for calls received;
and
to be kept adequately
informed by your operator of
any charges that apply for
roaming services.
Remember that all prices
are excluding VAT.

What is the maximum price
for sending a text message
in the EU?
The limit for sending a text
message whilst roaming in the
EU is set at ¤0.11
If you are planning to use
your phone to stay connected
you might be interested in
buying a data roaming add-on
from your provider. This will
work out slightly cheaper than
the per MB price. If you are a
regular EU traveller you might
want to go with a company who

specialises in international
mobile internet.

I’m not happy with what I
have been charged, what
can I do?
If you feel that you have been
charged too much you must
complain. To do this, follow
these steps:
look closely at your bill and
what you’ve been charged for.
A sky-high bill could be down
to a genuine mistake from
your provider, or it might be
because charges are higher
than you’d expected whilst
you were abroad.
contact your provider and let
them know that you want to
challenge your bill. At this
point it is important that you
know exactly what it is you are
challenging, hence the
importance of carefully
reviewing your bill. Most
service providers ask you to
call a dedicated number as
your first step.
If your network operator is
unable to resolve your
complaint, or if you have to
wait longer than eight weeks
for a complaint to be resolved,
you can take your complaint
to an Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) scheme,
after which an independent
decision will be reached after
reviewing both sides of the
complaint.

Award-winning
bakery at Onyx
The Onyx retail park between Barnsley and
Rotherham has an award-winning bakery on
site.
The Greggs store was declared a joint
winner of the chain’ shop of the year award.
Greggs the Baker was one of the first
retailers to lease a unit on the former colliery
site in Wath-upon-Dearne.
Delighted store manager, Sheena Dufton,
who was always confident the shop would do
well, said: “This award means the world. We
put so much work into the shop.”
This latest boost for the Onyx retail park
follows the start of phase two construction.
More than 40 invited guests and civic
dignitaries saw the mayor and mayoress of
Rotherham, Coun John and Mrs Kath Foden
cut the first turf. That marked the latest
chapter in the area’s regeneration into a
popular shopping and eating destination that
has so far led to the creation of around 100
new jobs.
Already 60 per cent of phase two is prelet or under offer with grocery giant Spar, a
well-known charity and a renowned fish and
chip chain set to join other blue-chip names on
the site.

PUPILS from primary schools in Kexborough,
Barugh Green and Cawthorne pulled on white
suits to become crime scene investigators at
Darton College.
More than 100 year four and five children
from across the three schools visited the college
to ‘help solve a murder’ as part of a forensic
science investigation.
After witnessing the crime scene, pupils
tested blood, fingerprints and footprints to
determine who was responsible for the heinous
crime.
The school organises CSI days to provide an
opportunity for potential primary pupils to visit
the school.
It was sponsored by Perrigio
pharmaceuticals which made a donation to the
college to help promote careers in science.

Grandson marks 50-year
anniversary with tattoo
How about tat! Craig Hartley
celebrated his grandparents’
50 years of marriage by
having their wedding photo
tattooed on his upper arm.
The 27-year-old,
originally from Elsecar,
decided on the grand gesture
a few weeks before the
golden wedding anniversary
of Brian and Christine
Stuchbery.
He kept the £180 design
a secret from the Mapplewell
couple before revealing it at a
family celebration.
“My nan burst into tears,
as I had kept it as a surprise,”
said Craig.
“She then started giving
me a bit of a lecture and said
‘you’re stupid – that’s for
life’.
“I’m chuffed to bits with
it and it was nice to show it
off. They’re an inspiration and I
look up to them.”
Craig, a former Kirk Balk
pupil, who now lives in
Hornsea, spent two-and-a-half
hours under the needle, with
the ten-inch design
completed in one sitting last
week.
Grandparents Brian, 74,
and Christine, 68, married at

All Saints’ Church, Norwood,
after meeting when they both
worked in Sainsbury’s,
Croydon.
The couple, of Blacker
Road, who moved to Barnsley
in 1976, honeymooned in the

Isle of Sheppey, and marked
their anniversary with a party
at Mapplewell Village Hall,
which was attended by some
of their three children, eight
grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

Christine said: “I was
aghast when I saw the
tattoo. I don’t really agree
with them and said he was a
silly boy.
“But, never mind, it’s
done now.”

Former Hoyland TV star Dean Andrews has landed
another starring role — this time as a Yorkshire
patron.
The Life on Mars actor, 50, will join a select few
Yorkshiremen and women who have been chosen as
ambassadors for the county. Dean is best known for
his memorable portrayal of 1970s cop DS Ray
Carling, who he played in the BBC’s hit Life on Mars
and its cult spin-off, Ashes to Ashes.
He said: “I’m a proud Yorkshireman, so to be
named a patron of the county I love is a real honour
for me.”
The title of Yorkshire Patron was awarded to
the actor because of his continued representation
of Yorkshire at a national level.
He recently featured in the BAFTA award
winning cast of Last Tango in Halifax.

Plans for a two-storey gym at Shaw Lane Rugby
Club have been approved by planners.
Agent Peter Thompson applied for the
development on behalf of David Clayton in April.
The idea is to provide somewhere for user
groups, consisting mainly of vulnerable people, to
take part in activities to improve their health, selfesteem and well being. The plans show the gym
will house a fitness area together with a
multipurpose social, learning and activity area, and
a community cafe. The location of the building
means removing part of the existing tearooms at
the club. Plans show it will have a lift and access to
the building will be from the existing disabled ramp
or directly from the main bar area.

A tortoise has been reunited with his sister two
weeks after he went missing.
Two-year-old Pop escaped from his owner’s
garden through a gap in the gate but he’s now
back where he belongs – with his sister Fizzy.
Owner Kevin Gray, 49, said Pop went missing
after he let the pair out in an enclosed section on
the patio, but said he thought the tortoise was still
in the garden.
In fact, Pop had been spotted ‘legging it’
down Cross Lane at speed and was taken in by a
neighbour who nicknamed him Little Mo after
runner Mo Farah.
Kevin, of Cross Lane, Royston, said: “We let
them out in the garden on the patio when the
weather is warm and I noticed he was gone but I
was convinced he was still in the garden and had
been looking for him every morning.”
Kevin used to keep reptiles including pythons
and chameleons but kept the tortoises for his
daughter Bethany, 14.
He added: “She’s glad they’re back and I think
Fizzy is glad. They seem to hang out together but
he follows her around more than she follows him
around.”
Kevin said he could see straight away that it
was missing Pop who appeared in last week’s
newspaper.
He said the size and markings on the shell
were exactly the same as Fizzy’s.

the biggest ever.
A whopping 55
organisations will be taking
part in the town centre
parade on Saturday with
groups taking inspiration
from Barnsley’s past, present

Among the colourful

Roller Derby team, local air

Classic Car Club, Barnsley

Council’s school crossing
patrol team, Woodhead
Mountain Rescue Team,

sights to watch out for will be

by afternoon performances at
the town hall gardens.

Bride told dress
won’t be ready
Bride-to-be Laura Ridings was left
without a wedding dress three weeks
before her wedding after the supplier
in China told her it would not be
ready in time.
Laura, 24, married fiancé of five
years Christopher Keys, 37, on
Saturday at Barnsley Register Office
in a dress from Olivia’s on Shambles
Street after staff there came to her
rescue.
Laura, of The Gate, Dodworth,
said: “I could have cried, it was an
awful feeling and I was upset with it
being so close and thought it might
be left without a dress.
“But Olivia’s have been brilliant.
I’ve seen the dress and I really like it.”
The couple have been planning
their special day for about a year, and
had a budget of £2,000.
Laura had seen advice on a
moneysaving website to search for
dresses on eBay to help cut costs.
She ordered two bridesmaids
dresses from Hong Kong for
Christopher’s daughters Becky, 14,
and Bethany, 12, which arrived
without problem.
But her made-to-measure, white,
strapless wedding dress which cost
£100 was ordered from China in

February. However, three weeks ago
she received an e-mail saying the
dress would not be ready until
August.
She said: “I was mad – we’d sent
the wedding date. That's the last
thing you want to be worrying about.
I’ll never order anything so important
off eBay again.”
Warehouse operative Laura was
offered a designer dress by her boss
but said she could not wear it on her
wedding day because ‘it wasn’t her
dress’.
After receiving the e-mail, she
went to Olivia’s not expecting to be
able to afford a dress.
But they found her an ivory
discontinued dress.
“I just don’t want anyone else to
go through what I’ve been through,”
she said.
Laura has not received her
money back for the eBay dress and
has opened a case with the auction
website.
Laura and Christopher's son
Lewis, three, will be a pageboy and
the reception will
be held at
Dodworth
WMC.
